Securing A New Process

A Minnesota manufacturer of precision parts boosts productivity by expanding its workholding capacity.

Six Advantages Of Horizontal High Speed Machining

Large monolithic aircraft parts may be machined more productively one at a time instead of three at once.

When Two Spindles Are Better Than One

Machining centers with multiple spindles offer a compromise between flexibility and productivity. Different machine designs use the multiple spindles in different ways.

Moving To Lean Manufacturing

Machining cells have replaced transfer lines as part of a $100-million-plus modernization program to machine drivetrain parts more efficiently and more cost effectively.

A New Orientation

How a previously vertical-only shop made the transition to horizontal milling.

High Speed Machining, Italian Style

One of the highlights of BI-MU, Italy's recent biennial machine tool show, was the number of innovative machine tools (and related technology) focusing on high speed machining.

Getting To Know Grob

With some familiar names in the machine tool building business fading away recently through mergers, acquisitions, or shutdowns, it may be interesting to learn of an unfamiliar or little known machine tool builder.

Weighing The HMC's Pluses

A horizontal machining center enabled this scale manufacturer to get its machining department back into shape.

New Fixture Multiplies Productivity Of Horizontal Machining Center

The setup for batch processing of each stem version and time expended in load/unload for the second operation created a production bottleneck that became more critical as market demand for the part took off.
